General Information
Warnings
It is very important that you read the User Guide carefully as it
contains detailed information on installation, programming and
operational issues which you will need to be aware of to ensure the
Care Phone operates properly. Following is a list of some of the
important issues and important warnings which you need to be aware of.
This is a summary of the important issues you must still read the
User Guide in full.
Warnings
The telephone is designed for indoor use only. Do not install the
telephone in areas where there is the risk of an explosion, excessive
exposure to smoke, dust, vibrations, chemicals, moisture and heat.
Do not use your telephone during an electrical thunderstorm as it
is possible to get an electric shock. Refer to information
contained in Telstra White pages directory.
The earpiece of the handset may attract small metal objects
such as staples and pins. Care should be taken when placing the
handset near these items.
Setting the receiver volume to maximum may, under some
situations cause ear damage. We suggest returning the handset
volume control to the “0” position after each call.
Do not install in damp locations such as a bathroom or laundry,
do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.
